Product-Related Philosophizing

"A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."
-Dogen (Japanese Buddhist monk and philosopher, 1200-1253)

An interesting thought.  That which is beautiful and loved will eventually decay and perish with time; that which is ugly and unwanted inevitably grows and develops.

Is this the natural order of life and death?  Is this cycle a necessity?  Or does the flower rise again, like a phoenix, from the ashes of the weed when properly cultivated and cared for?

Now, you may be thinking, "Oh no, Eric isn't making any sense...he must be off his medication again."  Not so!  As a matter of fact, I'm not even on any medication!  These ramblings are simply pure Eric-Genius; pay heed as it all comes together....Behold!  A product announcement haiku!

Over time, weeds (in the form of patchwork content that has been pieced into the original eteamz.com web site) have constricted and slowly killed the flower that was once eteamz.com.  Do not weep, however, as the eteamz.com flower is being re-grown by us, your humble team of corporate cultivators.  The current eteamz.com web site is hard to navigate, confusing, overwhelming, and antiquated.  Based on your feedback, we have decided to re-work the web site in order to create a much more positive user experience; making everything much easier to access and utilize.

This project is still in the planning phase, so please feel free to let us know what you would like to see happen with the eteamz.com web site; any feedback, suggestions, and criticism will help us create the best site we can.  Either "comment" on this post with your thoughts, or feel free to email me at eric.damassa@active.com.

"With love and patience, nothing is impossible."
-Daisaku Ikeda (Japanese peace activist and Buddhist Leader)

With the amount of love and zen-like patience which pervades the eteamz community and staff, we are certain that nothing is impossible and that eteamz.com will reach a new pinnacle in its history with the re-working of the site.

Peace and Love,

Eric
